The person who suddenly shouted was He Zhuzi, the first to be rescued.
At that moment, he seemed to have seen something terrifying, stepping back repeatedly with a look of fear washing over his face.
The others looked around in confusion and then asked in bewilderment, "Did you get hit on the head? We've just found Li Qiao'er and Wang Hao. Shouldn't we be rescuing them instead of running away?"
He Zhuzi, trembling, pointed to the inside of the pit, "Snakes... there are a lot of snakes."
The crowd was clueless, as when they had first opened the pit, all their attention had been on Li Qiao'er and Wang Hao, and they had not noticed anything else.
But now, as they looked intently with puzzled eyes, they were shocked to find behind Li Qiao'er and to the left of Wang Hao, many snakes twisting and coiling around.
There were a lot of snakes, easily more than thirty just by visual estimate.
Each snake was entirely white and thicker than an adult's thumb.
